Topic: Study Space

Did you know our workspace can influence how productive we are? By controlling your environment, you can improve your focus. If you’ve had success in making your study space more efficient, we want to hear about it. Tell us in a short video about the top ways you make your workspace work for you, and how that makes a difference in your study habits. Please address one or more of the following questions in your video:

How do you minimize distractions in your study environment? (E.g., putting your phone in a drawer, turning off the TV, using browser blocking apps, etc.)

What are your best tips for setting up your workspace when it’s time to study/get work done? (E.g., de-cluttering your desk, having a snack handy, not studying on your bed, etc.)

How does setting your workspace up for success help with your focus, learning, efficiency, and comfort?

How do you avoid study burnout?

Tips for making video magic:

Be specific: Don’t try to cover too much.Start thinking about an anecdote or “headline” that captures the theme. Look to the questions for suggested angles.

Focus on your own experience and/or the experience of people you know: What worked for you? What didn’t work? Resist offering advice (“you should do this…”) unless you have relevant professional qualifications.
